About Us

Our Virtual fracture clinic at Doncaster Royal Infirmary is a service that will allow many patients to manage their broken bones and injuries safely and effectively at home whilst reducing clinic waiting times for those that do have to attend hospital.

How to access Virtual Fracture Clinic

Following attendance at the Emergency Department or Minor Injuries Unit your case will be triaged in our Virtual Fracture Clinic.

Your appointment

An Orthopaedic specialist doctor and Physiotherapist will look at your notes and X-rays and decide how your injury can best be treated. As the clinic is virtual, you do not need to attend this review. Instead, once the review has taken place, we will contact you by telephone to inform you of the next steps.

This may include one of the following:

An appointment to be seen by an Orthopaedic doctor face to face in a fracture clinic (this could be at Doncaster Royal Infirmary or Bassetlaw Hospital)
An appointment to attend the plaster room for a new cast, split or boot (Plaster rooms are located within the fracture clinic at both Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Bassetlaw Hospital)
An appointment to be seen by a Physiotherapist for further rehabilitation

Many injuries do not need further intervention and a follow-up appointment may not be necessary. If this is the case we will provide you with advice and information over the telephone and provide written information or videos to guide you through your recovery.
